- Black, white and Nude underwear (Bra and Knickers). As some of the dresses are slightly sheer we want to ensure that your underwear does not show through with my camera lighting. Try not to bring "big kickers" as these can also show through too much. Feel free to also bring a tight slip. We may or may not use it. Thongs work really well under sheer dresses/ fabrics.

- Nude underwear means to your skin tone. There are some great websites that have "nude" options for all skin colours. Nubian skin website has its of options as well as Marks and Spencers plus Tesco and next to name a few.

- Strapless bras are useful

- Nails. Please have nude / neutral nail varnish without any chips. Bright nails / coloured or bright white french tips can distract from the bump and your face so try and be neutral with them. Please also avoid glitter. This is the same with feet.

- Hair and Make up. You should arrive at the studio with this already done. Have your make up done more than you would do normally, so it creates a more glamarous look. With bare make up the skin can look "washed out" under my studio lights. Same goes with your hair. Feel free to send me a photos of yourself so I can advise.

-Avoid highlighters on your face as these create too much shine with my studio lighting. We want to avoid shine on the skin.

Lashes- I love emphasising eyes in a maternity shoot, after all, they are the windows to the soul. As such I will always suggest wearing mascara. If you prefer false lashes, bigger is not better. In fact lashes that are too big will make your actual eyes look smaller and can create bad shadows on your face when used with studio lights.

-Hair. Do try and do more than you normally would do. Some of my clients find that hair extensions/ clips can give a more fuller and glamorous look.

-Bring your make up bag and hair brush/ comb to allow for any touch-ups.

- Feel free to bring any statement jewellery - we may or may not use it.

- Heels. You wont be walking in them so if you can bring a black pair and some others then please do so. We may/ may not use them.

- Your own clothes. Please discuss this with me prior to the photoshoot if you have an idea as this will need to be factored into studio time and editing time. As such any dress / outfit that you bring and use will form one of the photos from your package.
